When my parents used to wonder why people (myself) spent so much money on a watch, their statement was always, “all it does is tell the time!” Well, heads up Mom and Dad – this one does a whole lot more. The COOKOO watch is the first watch to be linked in with your smartphone so that you can stay up to date on everything and anything to do with your phone. It will tell you when you get an email, a call, a message, or even when you need to charge it! Most importantly (and what everyone knows they need), this watch has a button that sets off a sound alert so that you can find it when you inevitably misplace it.

This watch also has the style factor – it’s colorful and fun without being over the top. It’s a reasonably small design with easy-to-read icons for each alert, and it comes in green, black, stainless steel, blue, white and pink!

The COOKOO watch is currently in its prototype phase, but has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from backers and is expected to be ready for your wrist in November!

My phone is always going off and this will definitely help me keep the interruptions to a minimum now. Pretty cool idea and I’m excited to get mine. Only a couple days left on Kickstarter – bit.ly/KSCookoo
